Hebru 6
1 Khritjan mawng akcük ngtheinak cun jah hawih hüt lü ngtheinak üng dämduh vaia malam da mi cit vai u. Akcük ngtheinaka kyakie Pamhnam jumnak,
So then, let us leave the beginning of the message of Christ and move forward to maturity. Let us not lay again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in God,
2 baptican mawng mtheinak ja kut mtaihnak; akthia thawhnak be ja angläta ngthumkhyahnake am käh mi tünei be vai u. (aiōnios g166)
nor the foundation of teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Malam da mi cit vai u! Pamhnam naw a täng ta ahin mi jah pawh vai u.
We will also do this if God permits.
4 Ami jumeinak hawihkie cun ihawkba ngjutcam law be khaie ni? Pamhnama kvai üng ve khawikie; Khankhawa dawnak pi mdep u lü Ngmüimkhya Ngcima bänak pi yahkie;
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who were sharers of the Holy Spirit,
5 Ami naw Pamhnama ngthu hin dawki tia pi ksing u lü pha law khaia johita kcün pi cayahkie ni. (aiōn g165)
and who tasted God's good word and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Ami jumeinak hawihkie ni! Ngjutnak da ami law be tü vai am thawn khawh, isetiakyaküng Pamhnama Cakpa cun kutlamtunga taih be tü u lü khyang ksunga ani cun ngkeeisakie ni.
but who then fell away—it is impossible to restore them again to repentance. This is because they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and publicly shame him.
7 A khana kyakia khawk’a mjawnkia nglei cän Pamhnam naw dawnak pe lü sawnglinkiea phäh adung dämsaki cun acunea phäh summang phyaki ni.
For the land that drinks in the rain that often comes on it, and that gives birth to the plants useful to those for whom the land was worked—this is the land that receives a blessing from God.
8 Nghlinge ja mphyawe ami luh law üng nglei hin ia am kyah; Pamhnam naw a yünce vai kyühei phya lü mei am mkhihnak kham khai ni.
But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and is near to a curse. Its end is in burning.
9 Ka püie, ahikba pyen üngpi nami jumnaka mawng ta kami ksing päng u ni. Daw bawkia dawkyanake nami küikyannak naw kanaki tia kami ksingki.
But we are convinced about better things concerning you, beloved ones, things that concern salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Pamhnam hin ngsung ve. Nami bia khut, nami kphyanak ani nami kpüi üng nami mdan ja khritjan akcee nami jah petmsawte cun am jah mhnih.
For God is not so unjust that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown for his name, because you served the believers and still serve them.
11 Akdäma kami hlüei ta matcim naw akpäihnak veia nami mtuneinak am bi ua, acun üngva nami äpei cun akcanga pha law khai.
We greatly desire that each of you may show the same diligence to the end, in order to make your hope certain.
12 Nami dam vai am hlüei u ngü, lüpi jumei u lü ami mlung msaükiea kba ve u lü Pamhnam naw a ning jah peta khyütam cän doei ua.
This is so that you will not become lazy, but imitators of those who by faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Pamhnam naw Abraham khyütam a pet üng i khyütam ti cun ng'yünnak pawhki. Ania kthaka am däm bawkia kyase amäta ngming cun sumei lü ng'yünnak pawhki.
For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore by himself, since he could not swear by anyone greater.
14 Ani naw, “Na mjükphyüi khawhah ning pe lü dawnak ka ning pet khai tia khyütam a pet,” tia a pyen.
He said, “I will certainly bless you, and I will greatly increase you.”
15 Abraham cun a mlung msaükia kyase Pamhnama khyütam cun yaheiki.
In this way, Abraham obtained what was promised after he had patiently waited.
16 Ng’yünnak mi pawh üng mimäta kthaka däm bawkia ngming matmat mi sumei üng ngcuhngkaihe avan hüpkie.
For people swear by someone greater than themselves. At the end of each of their disputes, an oath serves as confirmation.
17 A khyütam yah khaie veia ania mkhüh itüha pi anghlai vai am täng lü a ngsing vai Pamhnam naw hlüeikia kyase a khyütama khana ng'yünnak a mkawp law sih.
When God decided to show more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable quality of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath.
18 Pamhnam käh hlei lü am a nghlainak theia mawng mjü nghngih veki. Ani am üpawmnak hmuhki mi kthamahkia kyase mi maa a jah tak peta äpeinak cun akceta mi kcüngei vai u.
He did this so that by two unchangeable things—with which it is impossible for God to lie—we, who have fled for refuge, will have a strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.
19 Ahina äpeinak mi tak hin mi saka ngphuneinak mäi ni. Ahin hin üpawm lü cangki ni, ahin cun Khankhaw temple k'uma angcimnaka kalaka pi khe lü citki.
We have this as a secure and reliable anchor for the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
